Written Word ft. Barrie Glenn Lyrics

On dusty shelves they can be found

Embossed with gold and leather bound

The written word lies within the covers

You read a page and then another

'Till there are no pages left

Leaving you empty and bereft

You can travel North to where the huskies thrive

Or travel South to warmer climes

Or a trip to Europe now that would be nice

A gondola ride through Venice

They can take you anywhere

Without leaving your favourite chair

Back to the shelves to reach for another

Perhaps a mystery to uncover

You are transported to another age

The mystery unfolds with every page

The protagonist, clever handsome and strong

In your mind you take on their form

The stories that rest upon these shelves

Are interpreted uniquely by yourselves

The written word, the characters within

Are formed in your mind as we begin

They take you to the future or times gone by

They can make you laugh, they can make you cry

Back to the shelf to find another

Sit and read cover to cover

Immerse yourself in another age

Another time to embrace

The actors on the printed page

With your mind they do engage

On dusty shelves they can be found

Embossed with gold and leather bound

On dusty shelves they can be found

Embossed with gold and leather bound
